- Hello viewers,
In this video, we are showing you how you can easily recover gold from electric circuit boards using household chemicals. Everyone knows that gold recovery is impossible without acids. And that's true. But what we can do is to reduce the use of acids up to 95% using this vinegar method.
Vinegar is easy to get and it reduces the risks.

Despite all the negative comments, I'm just impressed with how little equipment was necessary to accomplish this. Outstanding! I have no excuse lol.
This video is an example of why the dislikes need to be visible. What's claimed to be made here is peracetic acid (this requires distilled white wine vinger and 5% hydrogen peroxide) which can dissolve copper (freeing gold). However it turns blue; not green. The green colour indicates the use of nitric acid (turns green when dissolving copper). Using peracetic acid on 500grams of mixed scrap would not only take a lot longer, but also work out a lot more expensive than simply using nitric acid. You would need bottles of hydrogen peroxide, also controlled item in most countries (it's not the same hydrogen peroxide you use for your hair, it's sold as teeth whitener or wound cleaner and is often restricted to one bottle per customer).
Peracetic acid is okay for smaller items (such as scrap sim cards/smart chips) but you will be wasting time and money trying to recover gold phone boards and mousepads as shown in the video.
Yep, been saying this since they started with this type of censorship. In Nazitubes quest to control the free flow of information they have now forced all off us to watch way more crap content when dealing with technical topics. All of us using this platform to learn technically complex things truly got the most screwed by their desperate censorship.
Thank you. "There is a God!!!!" 😊😊😊😊😊
And they were bare boards. Assembled boards would have almost all the gold absorbed by the solder joints.
there is a browser extention that shows the dislike count, I use it
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob what's the browser extension?
What the vinegar does in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and air (oxygen) is to oxidize and dissolve the more reactive metals, mostly copper, which has been plated with gold. The gold becomes minute flakes. It is important to keep chloride out of the vinegar and water or the gold will dissolve. Once the gold flaks are obtained methods other.than what the creator shows can be used to recover the gold.
It would be interesting to see what these other metals are. The solution is green not blue so something other than copper is there. It should have been tested for gold. Don't throw it away until you are sure. It may for instance contain nickel and or cobalt.
So where do I have this tested, please, and thank you for the educational post you've shared, really good work, thanks again!
Oh that's cool ! If I can get the chemical's I'll give it a shot ! I would just keep going with the 1st step adding fresh vinegar & more boards over and over a couple of months plus loads of boards and cheap vinegar then I would do the final chemical process, that would make it cost efficient. Very cool ! Inspired.
Most work in a building while this man works on a scrapyard along with his professionalism...
Thanks for the video. Never seen it done like this before. For all those saying more is needed? Nothing on earth only requires one thing to be done to it to retrieve something from it. The process to recycle something is never straight forward. I myself recycle copper and a few other things which I then invest that money into things that make more money :)
If I knew someone who did this I would give them all the boards I come across as taking them to a scrap yard is not enjoyable so they end up in the bin, as I do not have the time nor the resources available to extract the gold using the method in the video.
I did learn a few things from this video, thanks again.
✌️✌️
Don't throw them away! There's everything from silver and gold to palladium and tellurium! And stuff that can be really too toxic in the landfills, too. Please, please take them to the scrap yard, or list them as free to someone and they will be snapped up quickly!
lol send them to me if u want pls don't throw em away
@@mentallychallengeddolphin9677How much you pay for them?
Well done, perhaps a little bit faster way is to take the gold into solution using a 50/50 mix of clorox and vinegar, until the gold disappears. 150 degrees F is faster perhaps an hour or so, filter and drop the gold with zinc, add zinc until the liquid turns mouse gray and let it sit. Zinc burns off at low temperature leaving your gold behind. The only problem is the process likes the platinum group metals as well but does not like silver.
Love to see a video and compare the two processes to see how they compare.
i used to work in a recycling plant and i would take RAM and the CPU from old computers cause i knew it contained lots of gold i have 3 full box of them so i might try this i enjoyed video Thank you . "
Have you tried it?
Hi, very cool💪👍, I am also engaged
in the processing of gilding. and there are still
options for processing such boards, this
is a big problem.
Thanks for teaching us how to waste time. Good job.
Отлично, коллега, удачи!
Buen trabajo,hay que cuidar el hambiente y uno mismo tambien
I was trying to remember my chemistry during all this🤣 great job
🤣
I'm more impressed by your creative use of soda bottles.
LOL!! I thought the same thing when I saw that!!
Hallo bro ini Tutorial yang sangat luar biasa, good job brother 👍👍
Pretty cool it works simply whit mother nature and time. 😎👍👍❤️
The ingredients used, I think would be more expensive then the gold extracted
Okay what were you pouring into the solutions during the “heating.” I didn’t see where that was mentioned.
Do you need to neutralize before pouring smb please reply
Very good, thank you.
process is very good, nice
the concept is great however the expense vs return would be unrealistic unless you get tons of scrap boards
I think the vinegar solution can be rejuvenated with a bit more hydrogen peroxide if this process is similar to the AP method.
But totally agree. You’d need hundreds of pounds of free boards to make the time investment worth it. That, and amount of AR used in this video could have processed like 5-10 times as much gold flakes as was done here.
When I refine gold, I never mix AR before hand. I always cover the gold with HCl, then add nitric a couple mL at a time since nitric is much more expensive. Which also reduces the amount of SMB needed because it’s not being consumed by free nitric in solution.
There are ways of making this process more cost effective.
You can do all that with out any chemicals . I watch a professional gold recovery expert , he runs his circuit boards through his rock crusher , recovers the metal and smelts is a few times , that’s it, Crush it , recover and smelt . Check out MBMM , on CZcams if your interested in his recovery .
Mining/refining is all about economies of scale. Since most of the reaction is idle time, it makes sense to process about a 55 gallon barrel at a time. Back of the napkin math says that would be around 200lbs of boards with an expected recovery of around 3 ozt (your results may vary).
@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 I have to agree that would be more cost effective, this method seems fun for home but how much of the gold is really recovered?
@@americanadventureoutdoors4213 smelting and crushing is more expensive than vinegar by alot
What this video shows is that many people don't understand nor fully think through a money-making scheme or endeavor to see if it makes sense before moving forward. Most people only imagine about how much money they think they will make until the reality of the effort, time, and sometimes money needed hits them upside the head, then they stop. If you don't value your time you will waste it.
Nice video, thanks for sharing :)
Güzel çalışma emeğinize sağlık 👍👍
would this work for gold plated silver jewelry?
very nice..thanks😍👍
What happens if you dehydrate the gold suspension when it is nano fine like after stripping?
Exactly what i want to know. Please give an answer.
Looks interesting and simple enough. My only concern is the toxicity of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid.. what preventions need to be taken when doing this?
Fume Hood, Acid resistant gloves and shoes. Face shield, etc. just don’t breath the stuff in and don’t let it make contact with you.
As of april 28, 2022 ,46 grams of gold is worth about 27.91. Long term, like years that could be a boost to retirement. Look for older computers, they have more gold in the cpu than newer PC's. That is tearing apart a lot of pc,s for a small return. It is cool to know how to do that. Can these be used on gold plated jewelry?
Is there any other way to test for gold besides tin11 chloride please as it's very expensive in our country
Canyon you just ese water and gravity on the second part? Instead of using that strong of accid.
TRULY THANK YOU BLESSINGS
Very nice brother thank you very much Good information bro
Thanks buddy
Sick!!
If you did the same procedure again with thay .46 chunk of 22cy can you purify it further and get some 999 gold?
Is it possible using that procedure and chemicals ?
I know if you brought it back to solution with some HCL AMD HNO3 you can get it to 999 rigjt?
Thanks brother I’m just looking for a way to refine my Alaska placer gold it’s like 85% of you melt it to a bar so I’d like to get some 999 gold bars
However I’m looking for the safest way do do it at home without a nice lab setup and good to vennt the gasses etc
Thank you for the video and knowledge
This man has time and knowledge…
And now a little more gold
Hell of a tool! 🤓🙏
If you melt it from the 1st step, what carat is it?i need help

Ben anladım ki sen sınırlı olanaklarda neler yapılabilir yapmışım dostum kireç at içine kaynat çok etkili mümkünse taş halinde kireç olsun i kendi kaynar,imkan varsa Başlangıcı HCl ve prokseid 12 procent veya daha yüksegi ile yapilsun daha iyi sonuç alırsın sonra içine çinko veya aleminyum oda yoksa demir tozu mümkünse cokertide sonra nitrikle temizle vesayee HCl yoksa, potasium hidro oksit ve hidrojen prokseit kullanılirsa buda etkili oluyor , emeğine sağlık
All the negative comments are people who are looking to make thousands bro cause there are smart teenagers like me who do not have the resources for expensive chemicals just trying out something that could benefit my future
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 🙏
The title is a bit misleading, it's way more involved than just vinegar.
I dought that, why would he be leaving that got this amount of time? Seems logical for the time duration! I guess you will have to try this and find out? I might somtime! I have faith even after all the non sence that goes on
It's the way of third world slave mentality, misleading, cunning, disrespect to other time
@@nathanmciver6496 no
Click bait
Yeah great video i love science. But all that work for 0.5 grams. Thats only £20 is it really worth it.
But great channel 👍👍
I noticed gold flecks on the filter paper after the solution was filtered. What did you do with the filter paper, there must have been a fair bit of gold on that!!?
I love the music it's nothing annoying or repetitive..
Thanks dear, My favourite also Clint Eastwood... Like it, thanks
So the process costs more in materials than you got in gold, but still pretty cool.
Not necessarily, most tech repair shops tend to throw these chips away if they have been damaged; a lot cheaper that way if you gather from their waste.
Vinegar and hydrogen peroxide are cheap
All that for 10 cents of gold
You can make your own vinegar to lower costs.
@@freakindawgen it’s $25 assuming it’s 100% pure
Easiest way I have seen. THANK YOU.
✌️✌️
exactly! thats what i was thinking. this is a very doable process
Hi, can I use the method of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide also for the cpu? I do not need to get gold at 24k but get on 18k. Answer me if you can, and thank you for the videos. Bye bye.
Where did you get that heating unit? Did you make that? With that flat pan?
If I'm gonna go through that much trouble , I'm using that one BB in my 12 Gauge Buckshot !!!
Can you fo this with a gold ore about 2% ?
superb!!!
Can you use the hydrogen peroxide that is for skin it's 6%?
At today's price of gold per gram, the slightly less than a half gram of gold recovered is worth about $25, more or less. Give the equipment, supplies, chemicals, and labor involved, I'd say this recovery process can EASILY make someone about 50 cents per hour if they are efficient. But making a 12 minute video that is viewed on You Tube by more than 1 million viewers, well now the monetizing of a video about recovering the gold can generate a much better return! The lesson from this video is making the video for You Tube will make you money! Recovering a tiny amount of gold from scrap circuit boards is a waste of time.
Very nice result and with vinegar !! Run out of acids?? Hahaha ❤
Buddy I got unlimited supply 🤣.
The video was created for you guys 🥰✌️
Good video.
Love the inorganic chemistry.....but the spot price of gold is currently $57.44US per gram.....and you got .46 grams to give $26.42.....That wouldn't cover your costs of materials here in the US.....
it's just only tutorial vlog to learning Beginner's
Ok so i need to learn to make my own vinegar. ✅
Hi my friend
Is excellent vídeo
You great
:)
🥰🥰
I'm going to have a go at this 👍
Good luck Buddy ✌️✌️
Interesting Vinegar and peroxide would dissolve metals but not gold.
I might try this with some scrap boards... I wont use acids though...
It’s true it does take a long time but it is worth it in the long run. I guess you just have to save it up and it’s not the only thing you get is gold as other precious metals also
Great work as always! I have done this aswell, just to try it and it worked great! Pay no attention to the negative comments. I know you Brother because you helped me recover alot over the years.
I wish you lived next door to me!
We would have so much fun!
God Bless you and may all you days be Golden!
✌️✌️
The "negative comments" are telling you how to recover gold while wasting less money.
What if you stop at the after the first draining of vinager and peroxide?
I suppose you'd get very low quality gold worth nothing
Thanks 👍
So he got $25.623 (U.S Dollars, calculating at current value of 22k gold for $1,890 per troy ounce). So the biggest take away from this video, is the process itself, not the amount of cash he was able to produce in this example, as we would need a considerable larger amount of recyclable materials, to extract enough gold & make it worth our while.. Thank you for the video, definitely learned something new today! 😊👍
Spent a month to retrieve $30 in gold! No way. Probably spent that in chemicals.
In come places you can not buy gold ,that is always a factor ,of if you buy it you need to show it pay it if sued there are many nations that restrict gold as USA did in past givin what they think you should get for it at the time
I believe Troy ounce is 3 grams larger . Does make a difference .
How long ago they said 8 years ,,,,gold when up and chemical cost is cheaper near source ,gold has been mind other places more as well
If he's in India that's probably a month's wages. Not trying to be funny but some of those people get by and pennies a day. That said, this is not a safe or inexpensive operation and is a waste of time.
Question whats the cheepest way to recover gold from these scraps
Something that all of us can do at home
How did we go from viganar to every chemical from the lab. I think it would be easier to cook meth
I know nothing of this stuff.... But... If gold has a certain melting point.... Could you not just burn the coffee filter and melt what is there.... By using different heat lvls separate the gold from other inpurities?
Man thats alota chems smelting the gold would be easyer right? Insted of chem melting
Question, Once the Vinegar has freed the gold foils and they are floating. Why not just strain them at that point and melt them? What is the benefit of further processing? Thanks!
good questions! Floating gold foils are not pure gold, thre are mixed with others base metal as cadmium, silver, nickel etc etc... so you can't directly melting those foils.. Thanks dear Murphy.
@@TrinityGoldRecovery can you process the other elements from the mix to get more profit
@@lesliesmith205 You could, but except for silver, the amount is not worth the effort.
Extremely labor intensive for such a small result.
Maybe not for someone living in India
That seems counter productive ta me...a lot of work for a small payout.....
I torch my mud when its still wet. It doesnt blow away from the flame, and any acid residue left is quickly burned off. I rinse my mud in 2 hot Hcl baths, then 2 hot water baths. So i could do more, but times an issue when doing 10-20grams at a time. Im gonna make the BEST refining video for newcomers this summer. Soon as the temp outside is good, ill be processing karat scraps.
czcams.com/video/fbnSZTjHmiA/video.htmlsi=ncWzHw1NR8RDGAUg
Wait gold can react to other elements? I was taought it rarely reacts to anything.
Thank's bro
The amount of gold recovered would be the same if we use any other method?
hy i have 25 kg compiuter procesor .hau many gold 25 kg pocesor thanks
This is what I learned, so much work and time for so so little. But educational a little.
So good
why did you leave a bunch in the coffee filter ?
Nice work one of the best vids on simple gold recovery..... seems like alot of work for half gram wish there would be more.. expenses of chemicals and gas and tine seem to be almost same as cost of recovery
This is not for commercial application but just for fun!
What is the total financial investment per gram of gold?
Question. Why dont you just melt the flakes?
Will it harm the gold if you leave it in for a lot longer time)?
I Don't think so
Thank you
Very cool technique, maybe I should keep all my ewaste /cheers ScrapBongo Liked and Subbed
So you spent how much in chemicals to retrieve how much in gold?
What is Mean by SnCl2 ???
what about sn and pb? ideal conditions are shown here:)
That was A LOT of steps to that process
The stubborn gold plated, can we also add few table spoon salt in order to create better result ?
Yes, good idea for better results
I’m certain that, if I type any sort of chemical compound into my search engine to buy, federal agents would be knocking down my door in the dead of night 😂
Would using a stronger vinegar work better. You can get 22-25% from the hardware store or at different places it’s also referred to as marine grade vinegar
id use hcl itd be quicker
It's the H2O2 that does the hard work.
Did you feel it was worth the effort and cost for a $27 return (29/4/22)? You'd still need to dispose of the spent chemistry and board waste afterwards.
Indians don't dispose of anything, they just toss it in their closest lake lol
couldnt you just melt it at the coffee filter stage?
I can extract crack from coke using baking soda.....now I can extract Gold ?
Ya need more than vinegar to catch that leprechaun! 😆 🤣
How often can you use the solution and what if you heat the solution will it work faster
acetic acid is better 100% vinegar very strong and stinks .
